Lawrence Alexander Homes, an Effingham County homebuilder, has broken ground on its second 'Build for a CURE' home. Once completed, the proceeds from the sale of the house will be donated to CURE Childhood Cancer, a Georgia-based nonprofit dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through research and supporting patients and their families.

Why it matters

This project continues Lawrence Alexander Homes' partnership with CURE Childhood Cancer, which has already raised $250,000 for the organization through the sale of their first 'Build for a CURE' home. The new home will provide additional critical funding for CURE's lifesaving research and programs that benefit children battling cancer.

The details

The new home will be located at 28 Grove Hollow Road in Rincon. A number of local contractors and businesses are assisting the project by donating or offering discounts on materials and labor throughout the construction process.
